I was working on this piece for my solo show at Amapola San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. During that time, I was receiving feedback from a mentor and friend Artemio Sepúlveda who is still active in his studio. He belongs to the generation that came after the mexican muralists and went to the iconic school La Esmeralda, where Frida and Diego were teachers along with Siqueiros, and many well known artists.

“Experiencing our body through a screen, can magnify the distraction and entrainement lens through which we encounter the world. The silent qualities of painting, I believe can draw us closer to ourselves and the introspective silences we long for.”
